The Marketing and Communications Center has had a busy month, with the 2019 Corporate Communications Conference and Excellence in Marketing and Communications Awards, held at the end of June, bringing together top executives in New York to honor innovative companies and learn best practices in areas such as brand journalism, storytelling, and communicating your purpose.

Congratulations to all the winners of the Awards! You can find out who they are here. I look forward to sharing their case studies with you as they’re published in coming months. The awards dinner was highlighted by a panel hosted by Senior Fellow Susan Getgood, and featuring representatives from our Fellows Choice Award winners, Procter and Gamble, Mayo Clinic, and The New York Times. These heavy hitters participated in a lively discussion regarding ethical digital marketing innovation and privacy protection, a topic that has featured heavily in the research agenda of the Center in the past 12 months.

We’ve got a lot to come in the rest of the summer, including our monthly Center Chat on August 29, and the publication of our annual Corporate Communications Practices research, so stay tuned.
